Overview of Major Capabilities
The Netopia Gateway offers simplified setup and management features as
well as advanced broadband router capabilities. The following are some of
the main features of the Netopia Gateway:
• Wide Area Network Termination
The Gateway combines a traditional modem with an Internet router. It translates
protocols used on the Internet to protocols used by home personal computers
and eliminates the need for special desktop software (i.e. PPPoE client).
•
Simplified Local Area Network Setup
Built-in DHCP and DNS proxy features minimize or eliminate the need to program any network configuration into your home personal computer.
• Management
A Web server built into the Cayman Operating System makes setup and maintenance easy using standard browsers. Diagnostic tools facilitate troubleshooting.
•
Security
Network Address Translation (NAT), password protection, and other built-in
security features prevent unauthorized remote access to your network. Pinholes, default server, and other features permit access to computers on your
home network that you can specify.
